Tuesday with Mentor and Mentee - Kim and Stacey







Dear Kim,

“Having you as my mentor for a second year has meant so much knowing you are serious about seeing a better person within me. Last year our relationship was kind of restricted and this year we’ve been through the happy times and the bad times as well. With your help, I’ve become more open minded and I’ve made wiser decisions. I will never forget when we went bowling with my brother and kicked his rear end lol XD”

Your Mentee, Stacey

Tuesday with Mentor and Mentee - Rachel & Helen


"She is like part of my family now because I feel that I can talk to her about anything and she won’t judge me. Thank you for being my mentor because you’ve shown how to be a better person. Thank you because you took the time to get to know me. With your help, I’ve become more open minded and now I’m willing to try new things, thanks to Rochy. Because of you, I have learned to have different views of life and look at things from other points of view. I will never forget when we went to the Santa Monica stairs because I felt we got closer and that we bonded more."

"I would like to thank you for always being there for me when I needed someone. I’d also like to thank you for offering your advice and perspectives for me to put into action. Not everything is at it seems.

Tuesday with Mentor and Mentee- Scott & Jose

I would like to thank my mentor for being there for me and for being a friend that I can count on. He was always there when I need him. He gave me advice to have a better relationship with my mom and listened to how I felt about my mom. The one thing I learned in this program that will help me grow and make a better life is to be communicative to others, to be able to be understood when someone doesn’t know me, to be respectful, and how to work as a team.
